Ruby Tuesday Too

Here Fishy, Fishy

I have a small collection of antique fishing lures that I inherited from my Dad. You can tell that this lure is old because the hooks are connected to the body with a metal fitting. Most new lures are simply glued and screwed into the body. The body of the lure is made of balsa wood, while most new lure bodies are some type of plastic. I'm sure this lure has spent a lot of time in the water, but I have no idea how effective it was. Now it's in it's own tackle box. I sure it would be happier running through the water, trying to lure a fish to bite, but I won't risk losing it to some submerged obstacle. It may not be worth much, but is is priceless to me.

ah, yes, Mr. Driller...anything at all that is left to us by those we love IS, INDEED, priceless.Hang on to that lure....pass it on to other generations. That's the kind of thing that makes us who we are today. :)

About Me

I'm an Oklahoma native and OU Alumni. We have lived in Northwest Arkansas since 1987. Since I grew up in Tulsa and their AA minor league baseball team is named the Drillers, I dubbed myself DrillerAA. It just seemed to be the right thing to do at the time. Too late to change it now.
I am the husband to my wife since 1974, father to our daughter, and Papa to our four grandchildren. My family is my greatest source of joy on this earth. I love digital photography and hope to actually get good at it some day.
